Protecting organizations today is dramatically different than it was a decade ago, driven largely by the global pandemic, which forced nearly every business and government agency towards a remote working model. That, in turn, increased attack surfaces and created a surge in cyber threats, which isn’t likely to subside.

Gartner published a report at the end of 2022, saying in part:

Through 2025, security leaders who implement cross-team mobilization as part of their exposure management program will gain 50% more security optimization than those only prioritizing automated remediation.

Through 2026, non patchable attack surfaces will grow from less than 10% to more than half of the enterprise's total exposure, reducing the impact of automated remediation practices.

Through 2026, more than 60% of threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) capabilities will leverage exposure management data to validate and prioritize detected threats, up from less than 5% today.

By 2027, the likelihood of breaches will increase threefold for organizations that fail to manage remote access architecture and processes continuously.
